The Rigelian Empire (pronounced /ɹɪˈɡɛl/[key][1]; Japanese: リゲル帝国 Rigel Empire) is a nation occupying the northern half of the continent Valentia. It was founded under the guidance of its patron deity, the Evil God Duma, and its militaristic climate reflects Duma's strict beliefs in power above all.
History
Rigel was founded in antiquity as a result of the schism between Mila and Duma, each of whom set out to found their own nation in half of Valentia to embody their ideals and philosophies. As a believer in power above all else, Duma enshrined a harsh militant philosophy in Rigel, and the people of Rigel came to forget about leisure and kindness in their search for strength.[2] Despite the mutual distrust between the two nations, they were bound by a pact between the gods to ensure peace between them;[3] at some point in their history, Rigel sent to Zofia the Royal Sword as a symbolic gift of national friendship.[4]
In time, the Rigelian throne was ascended by Emperor Rudlf, who sought to put an end to the corruption of the gods. He entrusted his infant son Albyne to General Mycen of Zofia, imprisoned Mila within the Falchion with Duma's insistence, then launched an invasion of Zofia: thus, he positioned himself as an antagonist, seeking to incite the rise of heroes capable of unifying Valentia.[5] These heroes were Alm and Celica, and both staged separate invasions of Rigel - Alm sought to conquer the capital, while Celica traveled to the Tower of Duma in search of Mila. In the climax of the war, Alm slew Rudlf and conquered Rigel, learning of his true identity as Rigel's prince. Following the defeat of Duma, Alm and Celica reunified Rigel and Zofia into a single nation, the Kingdom of Valentia, with Alm as its first king.
Notable locations in Rigel
Rigel Castle
Rigel Castle is the nation's capital and the emperor's seat of power, situated in the northwestern reaches of the continent. It also features a passage allowing access to Duma's Tower in the east. In Fire Emblem Awakening, Valm Castle is in the same location, meaning they are possibly the same.

- ↑ "It was due to the gods that this land Valentia came to be divided into North and South. And in doing so they mistakenly involved themselves too deeply with the concerns of mankind. As a result, the people of Zofia forgot the meaning of toil, and the people of Rigel forgot the meaning of leisure. As things were, we would all certainly come to ruin." — Mycen, Fire Emblem Gaiden

As a result, the people of Zofia forgot the meaning of toil, and the people of Rigel forgot the meaning of leisure. As things were, we would all certainly come to ruin. It was due to such considerations that Rudlf took it upon himself to become a destroyer, to instigate the appearance of true heroes in the land. For the sake of creating a new era, he decided to become a sacrificial piece. And to meet the hero who would bring about his defeat, even if it were his own child, he could not have been happier..." — Mycen, Fire Emblem Gaiden
